About this app

Duo Mobile works with Duo Security's two-factor authentication service to make logins more secure. The application generates passcodes for login and can receive push notifications for easy, one-tap authentication.

Additionally, you can use Duo Mobile to manage two-factor authentication for other application and web services that make use of passcodes.

Note: For Duo accounts, Duo Mobile needs to be activated and linked to your account before it will work. You will receive an activation link as part of Duo's enrollment process. You may add third-party accounts at any time.

Additionally, we will request access to use your camera for the sole purpose of scanning QR codes when activating accounts. Accounts can be activated by other methods if you choose not to do so.

Ratings and reviews

I'm sorry, but randomly swapping the Approve/Deny buttons is a little ridiculous. This should have been made a configurable option, and not had the option changed by default. At the very least, the user should have been notified about this change. As an MSP, this has me reconsidering my recommendations surrounding DUO. A company that makes changes that can negatively impact a user without basic considerations to those users ( notification or configurable option) is hard to recommend. 0/10

Edit: Many improvements over the year warranted a rating bump. Original: Deciding on implementing Duo or Authy for a project. So far, Authy is winning hands down. Duo's backup is super limited. There's no timeout countdown on screen. Inconvenient to have to open the app then again open the account to use. It seems the biggest problem with this app is that it tries to control how you use it, instead of you controlling it.

Absolute nightmare! You better hope the screen on your old phone never breaks or you will never gain access to your social media. I'm locked out of my business page and the only resource Duo offers is to contact Instagram support. There is no such thing!!!! No one to contact. I am beyond pissed and on top of paying for a new phone, have to now pay for the screen on my old phone to be fixed so that I can use Instagram again. BE WARNED!!!!
